For the record, the trade between Koetravis and Rico is exactly the kind of balanced deal I'm talking about. I think Koetravis wins the deal, because he got more overall production at different positions and different areas. However, Rico gets a huge boosts in assists from Teague and should actually get a pretty solid boost in FT% and FG% because of the sheer volume of looks that Melo gets. Everyone gets something they need and nobody had to get raped in the process.

I wish I didn't miss MBT's private message earlier and was able to join this league. This looks like it would have been fun. For the record, I run a fantasy baseball league on Yahoo! and I have seen bad trades happen, but unless I think someone is just tanking on purpose I never veto trades. If someone gets ripped off then that is their fault and why should we punish the victor for out-smarting the other participant in the trade. Of course, I should admit that by running the league I know most of the participants, but the point is that unless it is a blatant attempt to dump players and ruin the integrity of the league I don't veto. Man, I am not even in this league and am getting fired up about this. -:)

my FG% is absolutely atrocious. i mean 38.5% for d-will? under 40% from love? illyasova at 35%? jameer and george under 41%, bass under 45%? thank god for valanciunas being 50+ or i'd be worse than next to last

at least those should even out eventually

I'm having the same problem, dude. Klay Thompson and Mario Chalmers kill me on a regular basis. And I would be fine with that, but Gasol and Big Baby are both shooting worse than 42.5%. During the draft, the Gasol pick was the one I felt least good about during and afterward. It turns out my concerns were warranted.

I really hope the Lakers trade him to somebody and his numbers will improve. On a related note, if anyone is looking to trade low on Gasol, I'm all ears.

Pft... I've got Goran Dragic, Damian Lillard, Mo Williams and Mario Chalmers on my roster with great passing wings (Redick, Durant) and big men (Gasol, Monroe). Six of the top 35 players in APG are on my roster. I've only been beaten once in assists this year, and that's because Astros played me when Calderon had that one crazy stretch filling in for Lowry.

Sooo.... Guess what has two thumbs, hasn't made a single trade and will be in first place in this league after Sunday? This guy!!! This is why I don't understand all this complaining over vetoes. If you're awesome, trades are completely unnecessary.

I've seen your matchup and Fobulous has a ton of guys left to play on Saturday and Sunday, so 8-1 is unlikely. (Also, if you were playing me this week, I'd be up 6-3, right now. ;))

Idk I feel pretty solid.

Next week my traded players will be starting and Irving could possibly come back early.

we play next week mbt. I'm a little worried about rebounds but that's it
